not half court offense. But he continually has one of the highest scoring offenses in the SEC and nation. Their style of play are on the extreme ends from each other. No need to jump from one extreme to the other when the best way to win it all is to have a balanced offense and defense.I don't see that as true - Pearl isn't very good at teaching offense either.

Kevin O'neill over Pearl? O'neill never took us the NCAA tournament, had 1 NIT appearance and lost first round, and his never finished hire than 5th in the SEC east division and his 3 year tenure capped it off with 3 straight losing seasons. Yeah bring back the glory days!!!!!
Wade Houston (65-90, .419)
1989-90 16 14 10 8 T-4th
1990-91 12 22 3 15 T-8th
1991-92 19 15 8 8 3rd (E)
1992-93 13 17 4 12 6th (E)
1993-94 5 22 2 14 6th (E)
O'neill's record over 3 years was 36-47 so how is that any better than Houston's? Then he goes to Northwestern and spends 3 seasons with a record of 30-56. His last season was 5-25. Pearl won immediately with kids that were not his. Now he is winning with his recruits, even though we had a down year this past season compared to our current expectations. "IF" Pearl can recruit the right balance of talent, he will win a championship. I will take the proven winner all day long over a coach with a consistent losing track record.
